How Does Pregnancy Affect the Body?
As your body adapts to accommodate the growing fetus, many natural changes occur.
The skin of your abdomen stretches as the baby grows, and the breasts often increase in size to prepare for breastfeeding. Your body’s natural response to pregnancy often results in stretch marks on the skin as well.
Many pregnant women also experience some additional weight gain beyond the body’s natural fluid retention for the placenta. This is completely normal, but may not align with your personal vision.
Understanding Postpartum Changes
After childbirth, many of these physiological changes subside. However, stubborn pockets of excess fat or skin may linger around the abdomen. You may also notice that your breasts or buttocks have lost firmness or symmetry.
Many women experience looser, sagging skin following pregnancy, as the skin has stretched and lost its elasticity over time. This stretching contributes to a loss of structure, meaning the skin won’t snap back into place to hug your postpartum body.
Your core could also feel weaker, and you might not feel capable of your usual workout routines. This is often the result of diastasis recti, a condition where your abdominal muscles separate during pregnancy and the connective tissue that holds them together is torn, unable to tighten again to stabilize your core.
Some women also experience vaginal tearing or distortion of the labia during childbirth.
These changes are nothing to be ashamed of; your body has done an amazing job at keeping you and your little one healthy. However, if you are experiencing discomfort or low self-image after pregnancy, you are not alone. The experts at Turkle & Associates are highly trained in plastic surgery, capable of restoring your figure with precision and care.
What Are My Surgical Options?
When planning your mommy makeover procedure in Indiana, our surgeons work with you to identify the surgeries that will help you achieve the body you’re envisioning. We listen to your concerns and recommend a treatment plan that is unique to you
and the areas you would like to address. This might include sculpting the abdomen, lifting the buttocks, or removing unwanted fat under the skin.

Typically, a mommy makeover includes some combination of the following procedures:
Liposuction
Our surgeons make a small incision in the treatment area, using a small cannula to remove unwanted localized fat deposits.
Breast Lift
During a breast lift, or mastopexy, the surgeon removes excess tissue and tightens the remaining skin to achieve a more shapely, youthful look.
Breast Augmentation
Your surgeon works with you to determine whether saline, silicone, soft-touch, or cohesive gel implants best suit your breast augmentation goals before artfully situating the implants beneath the breast tissue for optimal symmetry and volume.
Breast Reduction
During breast reduction surgery, we remove the unwanted skin and breast tissue before reshaping the breasts to achieve your desired look and help you find comfort.
Tummy Tuck
Through a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, our surgeons smooth the stomach by removing excess fat and skin around the abdomen. We also repair diastasis recti, restoring the connective tissue between your abdominal muscles for a more toned core.
Labiaplasty
When performing a labiaplasty, our surgeons can treat excess or uneven tissue in the labia minora with a gentle hand and artistic precision.
What Are My Nonsurgical Options?
We also offer a range of nonsurgical body contouring treatments to further customize your mommy makeover procedure in Indiana. These noninvasive options are ideal for women at or near their target body weight, as well as patients whose lifestyles suit longer-term treatment plans with minimal scarring.

CoolSculpting Elite
CoolSculpting Elite freezes your fat cells, causing them to dissolve over a 3-month period. We can use CoolSculpting Elite to treat unwanted fat deposits on your abdomen, back, legs, and arms.
PHYSIQ 360 Muscle Toning
When dieting and exercise prove ineffective in restoring your postpartum figure, our team can use PHYSIQ 360 to stimulate the muscles while targeting unwanted fat with laser energy technology. It can treat the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, flanks, and arms for a more toned look.
Ultherapy
Ideal for firming the skin after pregnancy, an Ultherapy® Prime skin tightening treatment uses targeted ultrasound technology to penetrate deep through the skin to stimulate your body’s production of collagen. Our surgeons might recommend Ultherapy for unwanted skin on the neck, face, chest, stomach, and inner thighs.
Everesse
This noninvasive treatment uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to address sagging skin on the legs, arms, abdomen, and buttocks, stimulating your body’s production of collagen for a firmer appearance.
Microneedling RF
During microneedling with radiofrequency (RF), our team creates controlled micro-injuries to encourage your body to generate more collagen and elastin. At the same time, targeted RF energy penetrates deep within the skin for lasting results.
ThermiVa Feminine Rejuvenation
Through ThermiVa, our team facilitates vaginal rejuvenation through radiofrequency (RF) heating, which helps strengthen the pelvic floor, reduces the length of the labia through collagen production, and increases blood flow to the area.
